Andrew, can you hear me? Yep. Loud and clear. Okay. All right. Uh at 6 PM, guys, we'll give it uh probably about two more minutes. Uh Fred, can you tell me how many electives we have on? I see the mayor is on and I believe that's
the only one. I think on Vice Mayor Haye. Oh, you got Vice Mayor Haye as well. Okay, we'll give it about two more minutes, guys, just to uh see who else is going to log on and then we'll get
started. Can you guys hear me? Am I coming through? Yes, sir. We can hear you. Loud and clear, sir. Thank you. Hi, Commissioner Kelly's on. Hey, Commissioner Kelly. Hi. I assume everyone can hear me. Yes. Yep. Loud and
clear. Okay. I'm going to mute you guys just because this puppy's acting up, but I'll unmute or raise my hand when necessary. Dan, did you see my video text I sent you yesterday about what was going outside of Leisureville? Um,
in the morning. It was like 3:15 in the morning with the big light. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Uh, did anyone respond to you in reference to that, Mayor? No, not yet. But I was just I guess it happened like two weeks ago and they did call me about that, but then I thought it was just done and then it started again. But
it's right out front the units that are facing their door would be facing Congress obviously. So 3:15 in the morning has been busy. But at least they're not at least most of those people are gone now. Yeah. I'll uh I I want to say it was some uh we knew the
uh answer to it. I just got to get it to you. I know. I spoke with uh Andrew about it. And Andrew, do you remember what work was being done? I think it was FPNL. Yeah, that's what it was. But I'll get you an answer. Think they thought they were being abducted. Did you see the video? It
looked like aliens coming down the sky. All right, we'll go and get started, guys. Um, Andrew, can you uh scroll down for me? So, moving forward, what I want to say is, and I think the mayor's in
agreement here, is uh we get an immense request for uh proclamations. So, we try to pair it down in the um in the need for brevity whenever we're doing these commission meetings. So I know mayor you I believe you did
the um Haitian proclamation today the Haitian flag day proclamation at 1:45. So we put two one one I know which uh has immense importance to the vice mayor is mental health awareness and trauma informed care month and then also our national police week and peace officer
memorial day. So those are the two that we're going to be uh presenting at the meeting itself. Uh we'll do our annual presentation by Liz Martin of the Palm Beach County Commission on Ethics. Um, we're closing in and I believe uh Angel, she uh she got with you, Mayor, as far
as scheduling both the parliamentary school and also the uh commission on ethics presentation by uh Rhonda Guyger, who's a special counsel with the um commission on ethics. So, I want to say we're kind the last Saturday of May, I believe. Correct. Yes. Yeah. Yes, mayor.
The last Saturday in May. So, we're we're definitely moving forward to a resolution on that, which is a good thing. Uh, five. Andrew, go ahead and scroll down for me. Um, a point. Now, this is a uh a thing we got back from the TPA. So, I
know originally we had two alternates. So, if you guys would like to mention who you'd like the alternate to be, either Commissioner Turkin or Commissioner Cruz. That's the only direction. We can't have two alternates, though. So, we got a um we got
correspondence back from the TPA saying that they um only one alternate for the city. Perkin was the first alternate, right? Correct. And Commissioner Cruz was the second alternate. Yeah. Usually they don't allow they
don't allow um I knew that I kind of said it at the meeting but I knew they don't allow more than one alternate. Um I still want to keep the alternate position if possible. I was on the board for three
years. So um that's kind of where I stand. What I do um when I want to attend I attend. There's nothing prohibits you from attending and having something to say. It's it's diff it's
different attending than like being on the on the board as an alternate. Attending is like you attend as a as a member of the public. Well, we don't have to decide that tonight. No, not at all. that that I
think that's better to be discussed at the actual commission meeting. Exactly. Exactly. And we we we can get some resolution on that issue as well. So, right. Um community support funds for uh Mayor Shelton. Uh you don't need to open that. Uh
Andrew, just open the advisory board appointments. I'm not sure how many we have there. We had the board of adjustments and appeals and we got two. It looks like the Yeah. And the senior advisory
board is the only applicant. So I think you can take me off of that, right? Because I'm I resigned from the senior advisory board. You have been removed, mayor. Yeah, you have been you've been removed, mayor. Cool. I got your resignation. We got your resignation and
we took you off of the list and um and that's why there's the uh regular vacancy. Thank you. You're welcome. Still on prom duty from what I found out today. So, I'm excited about that. All right. Going through consent agenda. The first
one's going to be authority to grant the mayor or city manager sign minor development applications, major development applications, building permit applications, and associated forms. Uh is Amanda on or either Adam? I'm I'm here. This um this item is
largely administrative. This allows uh the signature authority to go to the mayor or the city manager um to sign documents for submittal for building permits. The city's not exempt from getting building permits. So, when we need to do things like dumpster
enclosures, we need someone from the city to sign it. Um this allows either uh the city manager or the mayor to do so. And it also allows them to sign development applications. This isn't an an approval, it's just a submitt. So, for example, we're looking at making
changes to Pence Park. Um, we need someone to sign that application for it to be able to go through the DART process and come to city commission. Okay. All right. So, moving on to six 6B. This is going to this is going to be
approve a task order number with GHD services. conduct a living shoreline assessment in the amount not to exceed 59,000. This is a vendor to uh assess our flood and this has to do with the mangroves along JC Park and there's two other locations. Andrew, do you remember
which ones they are? I think it's Park and Y and uh and Mangro Park. The three locations that we have potential where we could do the project. Okay. Can you can you uh specify what living
shoreline assessment means? Um, so we were awarded a grant from I believe it was DP. Alana, are you on? This is project. Why don't you explain? I know you.
Yeah. Yeah. So, so it's um pre-work related to the grant that we were awarded from D. uh just to in assess pretty much the the geology and the makeup of the shorelines at the three proposed locations for the project to make sure that we're installing the
right kind of infrastructure um for that project. So living shorelines are basically like hybrids of green infrastructure like trees and plants and all that stuff plus if we need to the traditional like seaw wall or other type of uh traditional
infrastructure that would go for flood resilience. So, we need to do a a survey just to make sure that we're putting the the right type of infrastructure there before we start the project. All right. Thank you.
All right. Moving on to 6C, guys. This is just our uh we went out to RFP. These are the two tow companies that we're going to be using by rotation for both tow services for the city and also our um storage. Uh 6D that's going to be
approving and authorizing question. I have a question about the towing stuff. Yes, ma'am. So, is that just like when cars get pulled over by the police or is that when there's cars like on searrest for three weeks or how does that what does that encompass? That would also be
um with our police department, with our uh public safety aids. What they'll do is they'll go and they'll tag the vehicles if it needs to if it's considered an abandoned vehicle, then what they'll do is they'll just uh call the tow company by rotation. So essentially, you get an even market
between both becks and coughs. Okay, thank you. Yep. Um 6D is going to be approving and authorizing the assessment of recording nuisance abatement leans. I want to say we have three properties. Um, this is just for the upkeep of those properties. Adam, if
you want to add anything to this, you can. This is a uh a normal thing that we see on a month-to-month basis with the city. Nope, nothing to add. Okay, Andrew, you can go out of that. I don't think it's needed to uh go through that. Um E is
going to be um with F dot in reference to our July 4th celebration, which is coming up in a couple of months. So, I'm sure Gabby and her be a uh a really good time like uh like every year. Um 6F is going to be authorizing city application
for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement drone replacement grant program and ratifying the drone replacement u program financial assistance agreement with FDLE. This is our drones. Um Adam, do you want to add anything to this item? Yeah, this this is uh different than the
uh drone first responder um that was approved a couple of meetings ago. This is for the drones that are out in the field. Um and uh essentially um state law, those drones are non-compliant with state law that we currently have. So we are going to be surrendering those
drones uh to FDLE and they are going to be providing us a grant to replace those drones. All right, moving on. Andrew Dan, can I ask one quick question? Yeah, sure. So, Adam, is the So, the grant is going to fully reimburse us for what we
paid for these drones? Yes, ma'am. Okay. And is this I mean, did we buy them before a law went into effect that made them then Yes. not able to be used or did were they purchased?
That's my That's my understanding. Chief Chief De Julio is on. He can he can confirm that. Yeah, I can add a little a little bit more to that. So, prior to 2022, um there were no restrictions on the type of drones you can use in the state of Florida for a government entity. Uh most most departments use one particular
type of drone and then in January of 2022, the state came down with the updated on the Florida state statute, basically putting them on the lack of a better word, a no-fly list. Um so, we did have two drones way back then, prior to 2022.
um that were under that no-fly list that which is what the grant's going to reimburse us for. Um most recently within the last two years when we did the first iteration of the drone program that that uh um we got approved from the commission those drones are still in
service. Um those are from a company called SkyO. Um they are not the ones that are included in the FDLE buyback. Okay, great. Thank you. You're welcome. So, Chief, are we talking about two two drones? Is that
that what I heard you say in terms of level? It's it's uh Yeah, correct. It was two drones that were purchased and it was prior to 200 I believe drones were purchased in 2000 and prior to 2022. I believe they were
purchased in 2020 and we use them for um more from the social media perspective than anything else. We weren't using it for what we use it now. Um so these are these are drones that were five six years old. Okay.
Thanks, Chief. I appreciate it. All right. So, moving on. 6G. This is a proven purchase of additional services for general financial and rate consulting from rier water analytics as a professional service acquired by per po and an aggregate amount of not to
exceed 70,000. This is our water rate consultant Ryan. You got he does uh both rate consult consultation both public works and utilities and this is just us uh essentially funding his uh his work.
6H is going to be ratifying conflict of interest relating to Lewis Longman and Walker representing the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Board as general counsel. Because we're part of that board, they had to do a conflict of uh interest waiver in order to represent
the screw board. So, yes, we did it. We did it in the we did it at the on the reversal at our meeting on Monday night. So, yeah. Okay. Okay. All right. Perfect. Um 6 I
and is there anything else we need to do as far as legal in the uh South Central Wastewater treatment? You know, we got a new new uh learning legal guy there. He just came on board
at our last meeting. Do we We don't have to do anything. We don't have to do anything as a city, right? Except Yeah. No, we don't. We the city does not operate it. There's a a joint program to operate it. So, the
actual facility um and the board would handle all of that. Yeah. And that's why I was asking because it is a joint between the two cities. Okay. Yes. Okay. All right. Uh moving on. This is also going to be a uh legal uh issue. I
don't know if you want to discuss it on the agenda or if you want to get with the commissioners oneonone, Shauna, unless you already have. We No, I have not. Um, and I apologize. Um, we do have a settlement for
$150,000 um, regarding a claim and I can discuss that individually uh, with each commissioner if you're interested. It does stem from a police matter. Um, so this is a good settlement being that we weren't
capped, but if anyone, you all have my number, so you know, anytime you want to call me, whether you know it's tomorrow or during the weekend or before the meeting, I'll be happy to discuss that with you. Okay. All right, moving on.
Uh, Adam, I believe this is the uh is this the um the art one? Yep, I can cover this one. Um, this is the um resolution that allows us to negotiate with the two top ranked um
biders for the RFP for the public art master plan that we briefly talked about at the last meeting. So, we have two finalists that are have selected. we will start negotiations with the top ranked one and if things do not um pan out we will move to the second ranked
one right uh moving on to K. This is going to be just ratifying the city's application for a uh the Attorney General Bureau of Advocacy Grants Management Victims of Crime VOCA grant. This is an annual we do every single year. I just uh signed off on it. So,
and I want to say it's $100,000. Is that correct, Adam? Correct. This this and if we're and if we're successful, so currently we have one full-time uh city funded victim advocate. Um and with this funding, we will be able to hire a second uh victim
advocate position. And victim advocates obviously they uh they handle crisis situations, domestic violence victims, they handle uh any sort of sexual battery victims, things of that nature. Moving on to
7A. Um this is going to be a pro approving a sole source agreement with CROM Codings and Restorations, a division of CROM for drinking water and storage tank inspections repair services as needed. And this is not to exceed $350,000 annually. Obviously, this is
for our water tanks um at our treatment centers to provide clean water to the residents. So, if you guys have any questions, again, this is a sole source agreement. Uh 7B, uh this is going to be the re-roofing, re-roofing, waterproofing, and painting
for uh fire station 5. And this is going to be not to exceed 449,000. So, and that's already been encumbered within uh our uh CIP uh 7C. Uh Andrew, you want to take uh
7C? Sure. Um this is an amendment to our approval from uh DP. Um they provided us with a state revolving loan fund to do the design of of the uh treatment plant
out west. And um when we initi Andrew, we lost you, buddy. We lost you. We lost you. I think he actually dro I think we dropped uh we dropped Andrew. I I can I can see him but yeah if you
want Dan I can talk about it. This is Punam Kalut. Okay. Yeah please please please Dr. Go ahead continue. So so basically we had asked for $5.4 million for that uh SRF loan for evaluation and uh start the
process for designing the plants and evaluating both plants for emerging contaminants. So D had given us around 5.2 2 million initially through the SRF loan. So we they are now adding the 232 821 for the 5.4 we had asked and also
it's um uh uh giving us an extension one-year extension to finish this first portion of it. Are there any other questions? I can answer those. Dan, we just completely lost Andrew with
the agenda and everything, just so you know. Yeah, I know. I uh I'm going to see if I can uh bring it up on mine. Give me a second everyone. I'm going log into uh my browser and bring up the uh agenda in the in the meantime.
Um, Pune, can I um I know there's been a lot. I know that it looks like the um the bill that contains um the fluoride is heading to the governor's desk. My understanding
um what are we um because I my as my as I understand it, we were in the process of ordering parts to fix our that part of the system. What are we doing now that that looks like it's going to um
you know Hey, Fred, we're getting a echo. Can you take care of that for me, please? Second, everyone. I will log into my browser and bring up the uh agenda. So, in the meantime, somebody must be watching the Can I Somebody, Commissioner Kelly, I can uh
talk I can let I can uh talk to that. Basically uh we had started fixing the east plants uh fluoride treatment and we were getting very close to we had finished it but we hadn't bought the chemicals and not started it. So when
this legislation started going forward, we um kind of halted that process to wait and see what happened. So we didn't and guys guys well we're getting two different audio feeds. Dan, are you looking at the uh agenda of
the website? Yes, sir. That's why somebody must be watching the Hold on. I'll close out. Yeah, I didn't hear double people. I'm back. I'm sorry. I got I lost. I didn't either. It's clear on my end. Okay,
good. I'm glad it wasn't just me. It's like I'm not hearing double people. So, so hopefully um I answered that question. So we halted uh the process before we bought the chemical and uh finished started doing the project at the best plant. So right now we just
waiting if the legislature goes through and says that the no fluoride can be added then we'll stop the projects there. If they say we should be adding then we'll go back and restart. Okay. How much have we spent on those repairs at this point?
So, I think I I'll have to go back and give you an exact number, but we did have a little bit of uh um I think there was a D grant to help with that. Uh but I can get you those numbers tomorrow morning for sure. Okay, that's fine. No rush. We can talk about it. I'm sure
it'll come up again once that, you know, once we have some answers on that. Sure. Thank you. Andrew, are you back on? Yes, sir. All right. All right. So, we just did C7D. This is going to be our comp plan review and this is requested by uh
Commissioner Cruz. So, if you have any questions, Commissioner Cruz, in reference to this item, both Mannon and Adam are online. I'll have to read the um the attachment and then connect with them. Yeah, this is just this is the award of
the RFP. So, Chen Moore and Associates was selected and this is the the start to award them so we can start the process and schedule our kickoff meeting. All right, sounds good. Thank you. All right. And both of these are second
readings. I know one of them was uh Commissioner Turkens item. He uh he wanted to talk about uh specifically turf. And I want to say Adam, what was the amendment that we did to uh item AA? I can cover that also. So the the one
amendment that was requested at first reading was that we change the 800 square ft to the,000 square ft for the minimums for turf. So that amendment was already incorporated into the ordinance and the exhibit for second
reading. Everything else stayed the same. And 8B is going to be also Amanda's item. Yes, sir. So 8B are the amendments to um the art um the ones that are targeting three specific areas. Um we
have made no changes to art uh to the art amendment. However, I did add one slide to the presentation uh for the commission to discuss. One of the things that we heard um from the commission and both the public at first reading is that
there's a little bit of a fear of abuse of this that this is going to pay for landscaping and all of these other things. Um so that slide gives the commission a chance to um decide if you guys would like us to incorporate some language for limitations also. Um
essentially it says that the public art fund and this has always has been the intent but can't be used for buy purchasing landscape materials and code required elements such as benches um you know uh trash cans, lighting, anything
that's code required cannot be part of your public uh art fund. Uh and that language is not clarified in the ordinance right now. Also, if the commission chooses to, um, you can ask us to add that language to the amendments once a motion is made for its
approval or Yeah, I like that we're I like that we that you s Thank you, Amanda, for suggesting that that, you know, we can add that to, you know, to just kind of clarify that this isn't just going to be a a landscape freeforall, you know,
you know, that's, you know, one of The things that I also wanted to mention specifically about landscaping is one of the amendments that we made last year um actually created a tree trust fund um that we are getting funds into. So if city projects need funding for trees,
there are some funds in those accounts that can offset that, but it is not the intent for the art fund to to be our tree fund. Great. No, I like that. I might we might need to tap into that tree fund soon hopefully. Yes, ma'am. I will. Tomorrow
morning, I'll check how much is in there. Thanks, Amanda. All right, scroll down, Andrew, for me. All right, so now we're moving on to 10 A, and this is going to be a Stacy item. Stacy, are you on? It's me. I got it,
Shauna. Okay. Um, the general employees pension plan. We received a request from Bonnie Jensen and this is a request from the general employees pension fund board that we had some codified policies and
then because the market changes so quickly it's really hard if we have a hardened set policy. Um so what they want that's codified. So what they want to do is they're going to create a policy that is a little bit more fluid
so that the general employees fund can easily more easily maneuver the market. So these were their recommended changes. Thank you. Shauna, you want to go over 10? Yes. So this came at the
direction of the board. Um this is language which essentially allows you to wave certain items with regard to um board or advisory boards or committee members with regard to how long they serve. We can wave certain
qualifications. We can extend their terms. We can also authorize someone who doesn't work in the city when there's difficulty finding qualified people for those boards. So this will be first reading. Any questions on
that? The item number C, there was a case law that came out of out of the 11th uh circuit federal court. The 11th circuit is over the state of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and and those states.
And this was relating to conversion therapy. And a lot of municipalities ban that. Well, the federal court in the 11th circuit determined that that affected a therapist's first
amendment right to free speech and those were unconstitutional. So, this is just a cleanup. As Stacy and I go more and more through the ordinances, as we're catching things, we're trying to clean it up. Uh, so this is an unconstitutional ordinance that has to
be repealed, and that's what this does. With regard to item number D, again, this is some cleanup. We looked at the drug-free workplace that was codified back in 1993, and it does not comply with Florida law. In fact, it doesn't even
site the correct statutes. So, we looked at what some other cities do with regard to drug-free workplace. And because it is also based on Florida law and federal law, but mostly Florida law, it's not really appropriate to have it
codified. It's usually a policy and the policy simply adopts what the state statute is. So what we're proposing to do is to repeal the drug-free workplace in the um in the charter, make it part of the
employee handbook. Now, there was I believe in 2023 an ordinance to change from personal policy manual as that was referenced in the code to employee handbook. However, that
apparently was never codified. So, we're going back through and we're just clarifying that it needs to be employee handbook. And then also, we're making reference to adopting the drug-free workplace policy there. So, this is again just more clean up as we'll start
start to see um as we move forward. Is there any questions about that? Okay. No, thank you. Thanks. Thank you, Shauna, and your legal team for all of your hard work and trying to update these things that have
been in on the books wrong since 1993. So, thank you. Thanks. Uh so we going to move moving on to uh 10E capital improvement plan quarterly project. Rick Hoffer, our CIP uh director, he's going to be um going over
that uh and any sort of questions you guys have. I know you got a uh overview of this year's uh CIP projects for 2024. This is going to be going over 2025. Um 10F. Uh this is going to be another item requested by Commissioner Turkin in
reference to the um campaign filing fees, signs, bonds, and petitions. And this is going to be a kind of a final direction for our staff uh with which way we want to go with uh some of the items that both the mayor and commissioner Turkin have brought up. So,
I did just want to mention if if um the board would like to go ahead and look at that item, not at this moment, but um Stacy actually prepared a proposed um ordinance and what that would look like and you could see even the areas that we have questions. There's just a blank
there. So, if you actually go down Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. The actual sample ordinance. I'm sorry. Go back one. Oh, this is it. Okay, go down. Are
you sure? Okay. I'm sorry. Scroll down, please. Yeah. So, as you see, we're going through here in section B. We just need to know what we want to make the
actual um numbers and we we can put that in. But we have a PowerPoint presentation. So, we've prepared the ordinance. So, we're ready to um move that forward. I don't know if it's something you guys wanted to address tonight. We might actually be able to
make it a first reading or if we can just wait until everybody is here to come up with those final numbers, especially since it was commissioner item. We don't we don't have any upcoming elections, so we got time on this item. So, I don't I don't think we need to go into detail tonight.
Okay. Well, and if Commissioner Turkin's not on here, then we can wait until Tuesday. I So, um, do you guys have any questions for us before we adjourn? No. Nope. All right. Thank you.
Vice Mayor, did you have something? No, I do not at this time. All right, Dan, hang on. Yes, ma'am. Do we have um are we doing another um joint CRA
commission meeting um this month? I I I would rather not do it this month. I want to kind of get some things ironed out before Well, then it won't be until July because we're not having a meeting in June, right? Because I I Or maybe we can do it at the maybe we can do it on
the second meeting in May. There's a couple of things that I want to kind of get some more clarity on before we go forward with another meeting. One, um I want to get more clarity on the CRA bills that are currently in the session. I know that the the correspondence I got
today from Tallahassee was that the sessions were going to be delayed by some of the uh issues that they're going through as far as tax proposals. Yeah. And and then I also have a project that I'm meeting with a few of you guys on
oneonone that I want to get a little bit more clarity on as well. So I'd like to push that to maybe July if we can. Okay. I'm sorry I not to cut you off. I did have to mention and I'm I'm so glad you brought that up, Commissioner Kelly, but
I have to request a shade meeting on two items. one is the E2L litigation and um in speaking with Katherine Rossmail, one of my our thought process is to do that shade meeting with regarded to the E2L
appeal on uh before the CRA meeting on May 13th and then we need to have a discussion regarding uh mark zone. Um and I was hoping we could do that on May
20th. So those requests will be coming and both of those are a little timesensitive and I don't want to do two shade meetings on one night because I think that'll really delay the commission meeting too much.
Okay. So I will be bringing that up on well. Okay. the when does the I mean I guess we're we're good as far as timing as far as noticing a shade meeting before the CRA with only a week notice. Yes. Okay.
I just thought that would be convenient because uh Katherine will need to be there for that and she's already there for the C. Yeah, that sounds good. Okay. Thank you, Shauna. Thank you. Does anybody else have anything before we
uh we adjourn? Going once, going twice. All right. Thank you everyone. Thank you guys. Thank you staff. Have a good night. Thanks everyone. Yep. Have a good night. Good night. I guess.
